Figure 2. A 46-year-old woman with UFs but without abdominal scar: (A1) superficial burn (I°) of skin with erythema and edema measuring about 15 cm × 10cm after FUAS immediately; sagittal view of T2WI, (A1) no abnormal signals in the abdominal wall before FUAS; (A3) hyperintense signals after FUAS (indicated by the arrowhead); a 33-year-old woman with UFs and an abdominal scar: (B) superficial partial-thickness burn (S-II°) of skin with blisters measuring about 2 cm × 2cm 1 day after FUAS (indicated by the arrowhead); a 47-year-old woman with UFs but without abdominal scar:(C) deep partial-thickness burn (D-II°) of skin with cheesy, white-to-red appearance measuring about 3 cm × 3cm after FUAS immediately (indicated by the arrowhead); a 31-year-old woman with UFs and an abdominal scar: (D) full-thickness burn (III°) of skin with grayish and wrinkled appearance measuring about 1.5 cm × 1cm after FUAS immediately (indicated by the arrowhead).
